"???whats your 0---60 time???"

What... these trucks will do 60 ? :eek:
 
Have any of you messed around with timing of the fuel inj motors??? if so how did it react? Im givin the ol girl a tune-up tommarrow gonna try and knock off a few seconds.... maybe a tank of premium
 
Advancing the timing noticably helped with my 3FE. I did it by ear (advanced till it pinged, then backed off a touch). I don't think premium will give you any benefit, unless it is from a lower ethanol content.
 
So I tried to get my time and saw my gas guage move faster then the truck was going. That ended the attempt.

Unless you have bumped the compression up a bit over stiock, you will not gin enough from premium to detect. Advancing timing beyond OEM will be beneficial. Somewhere between about 13-18 BTDC seems to work best usually.



Mark...
 
60-0 times and distance

I would rather have an excellent set of brakes to stop this rigs rather than how fast i get to 60. so maybe we should have a 60-0 times instead to find out how long will it take to stop our rigs in a panic stop.now lets find out what can your rig do.:D

I tell you what mine stop great withV6 calipers and power slots rotors
 
I was joking about the premium, it takes so much effort to get going i dont want to stop it
 
at least you guys made me feel better. i thought it was just my 60 that accelerated like a snail.
 
This is probably the best thread I've read in a while! My truck is slow, but dammn I look good driving it! I'm too scared to floor it. I imagine my 0-60 is somewhere in the low 5s range. Conservatively of course.

I was using 93 octane just cause it has over 250K miles. I switched to 87 octane and haven't notice any change in performance or mileage. Just more money left over. Did they even have 93 octane in the 80s?
 
I could measure mine with a sundial.
mine takes 7 months 39 days but that is down hill with a tail wind. in 4lo snails pass me they just cant go where we do :D

Exactly, if i was really concerned about speed I would be on another forum...But its drivin more more than wheeled... and holy sh*t 5 sec is fast. It was prolly like 97 octane in the 80s
 
8.5 secs..
 
Our local track has "Street Legals" every Friday in the summer, I took my HJ60 on 33's down there for fun one night. They wouldn't even pair me up with anyone, I'm pretty sure they were nodding their heads in shame as I scooted down the 1/4 mile.

I ran a few mid 28 second passes. I unbolted the exhaust at the downpipe and broke into the high 27's by the end of the night. To be fair I wasn't beating on the truck, I was shifting at 3000rpm, so I'm sure if I beat the piss out of her I could squeeze an easy 26 second pass. I don't know the 0-60 time, I lost the time slip, I meant to frame it.

My Corolla runs 12's.
